The Sickness - Catalina H. (best life changing books TXT) 📗

*MAXIE*

Ugh! School days. The only thing to look forward to is Chaleb. He has blonde hair that goes down to his shoulders and covers one eye, he has sky blue eyes.But he's one of the most popular guys in school and is always going out with a slut. Wich is basically over half the girls in my school. The thing is I'm invisible to him. He doesn't even know I'm alive. I skip breakfast and wait at the bus stop to find Chaleb leaning on the sign and looking this way so I look down and avoid eye contact.

*Chaleb*

School days, they suck. I can't believe how many people I've gone out with all ready. I know they're sluts but it's only to make Maxie jealous. I don't think it ever works because she never looks at me and ignores me. i don't even think she likes me. She has short brown curly hair just at her shoulders and hazel eyes but in the light look a little green. It's so pretty. I went out side to the bus stop I'm usually one of the last people to go out but that's only because I know Maxie is always the last one. I look over to where her house is and try to look at her eyes and smile to her but she looks straight down as soon as she see's me looking over there. I saw her sit down and I sat beside her. I tried to make conversation but she would ignore me. The whole time.

*Maxie*

Chaleb sat by me and try talking to me but if I say anything I will stutter then he will joke me until the end of school.

We went to homeroom and Chaleb sat by me in every class. He talks and talks trying to get me to talk but my best friend Ryan wasn't at school. She's always at school. She must be sick. Well that ruined my day, and it went by quickly.

I went home and found out Ryan, who has black hair past her shoulders and she is tan, is sick with a fever. She is one of the popular people but never went out with Chaleb. She likes his best friend Danny. He is tan with short black hair. None of us know what he's thinking. He doesn't talk much. Now that I think of it neither does Ryan. So I guess they're perfect for each other.

*Chaleb*

I went to my homeroom and found Maxie. I'm gonna start calling her Max. Anyway she was in every class and she looked beautiful. I tried talking to her but she was quiet all day long. The day went by quickly though.

I went home to my best friends Danny house. He said he didn't see Ryan. That's probably why Max didn't talk today. He likes Ryan a lot but she never talks to him so I'm gonna ask Max tomorrow what Ryan thinks.

So I got again like usual and went on the bus and sat next to Max again. She looked at me this time and I got lost in her eyes. I hope she didn't notice.

"Does Ryan like Danny?" I asked

"Yea, she loves him. Why do you ask?"

"Because he likes, or should I say loves her to."

"Kewl. But Ryan is sick."

"It's okay, he knows where she lives."

"Mk."

I got of the bus and went to class. Since Danny had a chance I wonder if we have a chance.

*Maxie*

I got in the bus and Chaleb sat next to me again. I was starting to wonder if he really liked me then he asked me bout Ryan and Danny. So I guess he was just helping a friend.

The day went by again and rode on the bus by myself while Chaleb was sitting with Danny. So I guess that we will all be at Ryan's house. I wonder if Chaleb will ask me out.

*Chaleb*

I just remembered if Danny and I go to Ryan's house does that mean Max will be there? I'm gonna ask her out. That's the end. So we get of the bus and Max is walking behind us. So I stop and wait for her to catch up and I put my hand on her waist. She didn't move or anything and Danny was just staring at me in amazement. I pulled Max closer and she just stood there again. We arrived at Ryan's house and Max pulled away. I don't know if that means she likes me because well. I just hope she does.

We walked in and saw Ryan. She didn't look so good.

*Maxie*

We got off the bus and I saw Chaleb ans Danny walking towards Ryan's house. I stayed behind because I didn't want to disturb anyone. Then I see Chaleb stop and put his waist around me. I felt like fainting but I stayed where I was out of stun. Then he pulled me closer. I was really hoping that he kissed me but then I pulled away because we were at Ryan's house.

We stepped in and Ryan didn't look good. But then her mom Mrs.Tonn said her dad got sick and everyone at his work got sick. Mrs.Tonn wasn't looking good herself.

*Danny*

Ever since I heard that Ryan liked me too I've been all jittery. We walked into her house and she did NOT look good at all.

I asked her "Will you go out with me?"

She jumped right out of bed, hugged me, then kissed me, and I took that as a yes. I guess she felt better.

*Ryan*

When I saw Danny walk in I got lost in his eyes. Then he started talking he asked me out and I freaked out. I felt better all the sudden.

Uh oh! I felt something come up and ran to the bathroom.

*Chaleb*

It's my turn.

"Hey Max, is it okay if I call you Max?"

"Yeah." I felt like jumping up and down and screaming.

"Will you......um...nevermind I have to um..... forget about it." I saw her eyes fall and her smile fade. "Will you go out with me" I said really fast.

First I didn't know what to say I knew he was trying to ask me out but I didn't want to look all stupid but when he said nevermind I so sad I felt like crying. The he said will you go out with me really fast but I acted like I didn't know what he said.

"What? I didn't understand you."

I didn't feel like repeating myself but I could tell she knew what I said. "Will...you...go...out...with...me...?" I said really slowly.

"Yes!" I ran at him jumped on him and kissed him. He kissed me back with passion like he was wishing for this to happen. He asked for entrance and I gave it to him. then Ryan came in and we pulled back.

*Ryan*

I walked back in leaning on Danny and I saw Maxie and Chaleb kissing. I ran over to her and she nodded yes. We got our men.

It was late while we wached a movie and my parents still weren't home.

I called both of them and neither one awnsered. I started to get worried.

Maxie and everyone called both their parents and noone awnsered. They desided to spend the. We all went upstairs. Me and Danny on my bed and Maxie and Chaleb on the floor.

*Maxie*

I went to the bathroom and there was a moan coming out of the window. I started freaking out, I wiped and ran out and told Chaleb what happened he just groaned. He didn't wake up. Then I told Ryan and she freaked and tryed to wake up Danny but h groaned like Chaleb. We looked at each other. Grinned wide and let out a scream. Chaleb and Danny jumped up. They sighed and walked downstairs with flasglights.

*Chaleb*

Me and Danny started walking downstairs. We heard something crash in the kitchen. We turned on the light and we saw this thing. We didn't know what it was but we new it was something. We ran upstairs and told the others. They freaked. We all ran downstairs again.

*Maxie*

We ran downstairs and found this green thing with scratch marks and blood all over it. As soon as it saw us it started running at us. I took a steak knife and threw it at it. I hit right in the eye. Who new I had such good aim? Anyway It fell on the floor almost immediatly. We took a closer look and saw start blowing up like a baloon. I told them to take cover and before you now it there was red and yellow puss everywhere. It was so disgusting. We all stared at eachother in disbeleif.

Everyone new what happened last night but we agreed to keep it ourselves. We went to school together and when we got there we saw no adults, buses, or even animals out. While Chaleb was holding my hand and Ryan was holding Dannys we all looked at each other and went back home.

"Whose the leader?"Chaleb asked

"You and Danny" Me and Ryan said together.

"Okay"Every one nodded.

I took my phone and called my cousin Shaun.

*ring ring*

"Hello"

"Hey Sean. Um.....remember how you like crazy and said zombies were going to invade? Well ya, there was one just in my
